How to get to Pinery Provincial Park
The park sits just south of Grand Bend on Highway 21, about a 45-minute drive (roughly 65 km) northwest of London, Ontario, and approximately 2.5 to 3 hours from the Greater Toronto Area via Highways 401 and 402. Access is on flat southwestern Ontario terrain with no mountain passes or major tunnels, making it straightforward for larger RVs and towables. Drivers should watch for strong crosswinds near the Lake Huron shoreline and seasonal tourist traffic through Grand Bend in summer. The nearest major airport for fly-and-rent travelers is London International Airport (YXU), with Toronto Pearson (YYZ) as a larger alternative.
